Lu Qishan frowned slightly, and was a little reluctant to let Lin Wan inscribe on this painting, but with so many people watching, and Zhou Changying present, how could she refuse Lin Wan's request? ”

Lin Wanwan smiled and said humbly: "Wan'er just begs not to embarrass her aunt." After speaking, he walked to the table, picked up the pen, and wrote eight words on the upper left side of the painting: "Alluring the country and the city, peerless independence." ”

When the palace maid once again showed the painting in front of people, it caused a new round of admiration. Lu Qishan is also very satisfied with these eight words, it is also a sycophant, Lin Wan's sycophant can be regarded as a very clever shot, which makes Lu Qishan feel very comfortable and can't find any fault.

What people didn't expect was that Lin Wan just relied on these eight simple words, but it seemed to add a kind of domineering to this painting. And this kind of domineering is not ostentatious, and it is very compatible with the woman in the painting, and it is one and the same. It's not just the icing on the cake, it's the finishing touch.

Even Lu Qishan's eyes lit up, she glanced at Lin Wan again, and turned her head to praise Zhou Changying: "Changying, your apprentice really didn't disgrace you, this character is written well! Just looking at that word, it may not show how wonderful it is, what is rare is that the title is in this painting, which is not noisy, but also impossible to ignore, and complements each other." ”

Zhou Changying was also very satisfied, nodded and smiled: "This kid is extremely talented, he has only studied with me for a few days, and he already has a great tendency to be better than the blue." ”

In the praise of everyone, Lin Wan and Ning Wuwu looked at each other and smiled, and each returned to their seats, as if all the praise and glory had nothing to do with them.

Lu Qishan instructed the palace maids around her to put away the paintings, ask the framer in the palace to frame them, and then send them to the Shouxi Palace.

A whole afternoon was spent happily in a tense and warm atmosphere. Lin Wan sat in his seat and quietly looked at everything in front of him, as if he was just a spectator.

When Wang Biyun presented the "Thousand Longevity Map", the banquet was pushed to the top again, and everyone got up again and shouted: "The Queen Mother is blessed with longevity and health, a thousand years old, a thousand years old, a thousand years old!"

Zhou Changying praised the 1,000 "longevity" characters on the "Thousand Longevity Map" in public, and the embroidery was even more exquisite.

Wang Biyun said in public that this is the work of Master Tong of the Golden Needle Embroidery Workshop, and recommended it to the Queen Mother, Master Tong is not only good at workmanship, but also has a good heart, and has helped many hard-working single women.

Zhou Changan also remembered the Tong Xinyan he had seen in Xingmin Street, and was also very impressed by her, praising her as a brave and kind girl.

Zhou Changying immediately became interested in Tong Xinyan and asked people to go out of the palace to invite her.

In the evening, Tong Xinyan followed a palace maid into the hall, bowing her head and lowering her eyes, but she was neither humble nor arrogant, and she was very calm.

Zhou Changying called her in front of her, looked at her carefully, did not beat around the bush, and directly proposed to accept Tong Xinyan as an apprentice, which caught Lu Qishan and Zhou Changan off guard.

Tong Xinyan naturally knew that Zhou Changying wanted to help her, she was full of gratitude, tears welled up in her eyes, she was so excited that she couldn't speak, and kowtowed vigorously.

Zhou Changying patted Tong Xinyan's hand lovingly, and said: "Good boy, I like you as soon as I see you, this is also a kind of fate, sit next to Wuwu, you will go to the eldest princess's mansion more in the future, and be a companion with Wuwu." ”

Tong Xinyan wiped away her tears, smiled sweetly, and nodded, "Yes, master." ”

Zhou Changying nodded with satisfaction and said, "Go ahead!"

When Tong Xinyan walked off the high platform, she turned her head to look at Lin Wan, her eyes were full of gratitude and joy. She knew that all this was brought to her by Lin Wan.

In her life, she never thought that she would be today. After losing her family and fiancé, she was able to regain her happiness. met such an excellent Zhao Mingjin, lived in General Zhao's mansion, was recognized by the Zhao family, gained love, family and friends, and now has become the eldest princess's beloved apprentice.

Tears rolled down his cheeks again, tears of joy. Ning Wuwu got up and took Tong Xinyan to his side, and affectionately called her Sister Tong like Lin Wan.

When Lin Wan saw Tong Xinyan's tears, her heart was also sour, and her eyes couldn't help but turn red.

The birthday banquet went smoothly, and everyone was very happy, as if it was just a pleasant birthday banquet.

Lin Wan felt a pain in her heart, maybe, maybe today's birthday banquet, except for her, everyone else will get their wish.

At the dinner, Father-in-law Qi began to read the holy decree. Liu San, Miss Liu Fangyao, married the second prince Zhou Tianming, and named the second prince's side concubine.

Zhou Tianming changed his usual cynical appearance, suppressed the ecstasy in his heart, walked off the high platform, stood with Liu Fangyao, and thanked the emperor on the high platform. Then ignoring everyone's discussions, he pulled Liu Fangyao to sit down with him and let Liu Fangyao sit beside him.

Gonggong Qi continued to announce that Lu Manyi, the eldest lady of the Lu family, gave the third prince Zhou Tianzheng a marriage and made the third prince a side concubine.

Zhou Tianzheng and Lu Manyi were expressionless, unable to see joy and sorrow, each thanked each other, and returned to their respective positions, as if what Father-in-law Qi read out was not their marriage event.

In the end, Gonggong Qi read out again: "Lu Manting, the second lady of the Lu family, will marry the seventh prince Zhou Tianqi and seal the side concubine of the seventh prince!"

Lu Manting's face was full of shyness, and the joy of getting what she wanted jumped on her face, that beautiful little face, that pair of gentle big eyes, was even brighter and more moving. She walked to the center of the high platform, thanked Zhou Chang'an, and then walked to Lu Qishan's side, holding Lu Qishan's arm and coquettishly.

Lin Wan looked at everything in front of him with a faint smile on his face. All this was expected, from the beginning she knew that Lu Manting and Zhou Tianqi were a couple, although she kept telling herself that this day would not come, all this would not happen, but today still came, and it came without discussion.

Fortunately, Zhou Tianqi is not here, so she doesn't have to watch Zhou Tianqi and Lu Manting kneel down and thank you together. Fortunately, Zhou Tianqi is not here, she can deceive herself, saying that none of this is true, and Zhou Tianqi will not marry Lu Manting. Fortunately, Zhou Tianqi was not there, she could hold back her tears and prevent Lu Manting from seeing the sadness of the loser as a winner......

Sadness has turned into a river, but Lin Wan still maintains the posture of a spectator, smiling and looking at everything in front of him, there is no one in his eyes, no tears, no sadness, no emotion, only a calm smile.

Ximen Yuqing looked at Lin Wan's eyes from a distance, there was nothing in those clear eyes, as if they were empty, sucking his heart in, making his heart feel Lin Wan's sadness, like a river under a glacier.
